Crow's claim about buying it for a museum can't be squared with Thomas's mother still living in it after the purchase, the improvements made to the home, nor with Thomas breaking the law to keep it secret.

Harlan Crow Bought Property from Clarence Thomas. The Justice Didn’t Disclose the Deal.

The transaction is the first known instance of money flowing from Crow to the Supreme Court justice. The sale netted the GOP megadonor two vacant lots and the house where Thomas’ mother was living.

@maxkennerly @ProPublica What line is crossed by acting as an illegitimate institution, acting without integrity, and stacking the court with right wing ideologues whose sole objective is to obliterate half a century of precedents with will o’ the wisp reasoning and selective history to fit the nation into their religious orthodoxy?
